My paternal grandfather, and namesake, bought one of these in the early 1900's, in response to a threat on his life. When it came to me in the 1960's, there were three fired rounds and three live rounds in the cylinder. The family legend says grandpa took care of business when confronted on the street in Salt Lake City. The perp had tried to sell a mine to EPJ l's client. EPJ l told the client that upon assay, the mine was essentially worthless. The perp announced that he would kill my grandfather on sight. Apparently he tried and failed. Unfortunately, the gun has not survived in great condition, but it's still serviceable.
